Will they provide VAT/CST registration if I do bussiness from my residence? can I ship the products all over india by just haveing TIN/VAT? or do I need to register CST with every state? really confusing I am not sure how to get it done?

Thanks for the information. I want to start selling on Amazon and they are asking for VAT/CST number. My Turnover is not going to be anything beyond 10K per month. This is going to be home based business where I do not have business place setup. I simply buy from local market or get things customzied and then sell them online. What will be the procedure for me to get VAT/CST ?

Registration procedure is already explained in this post. You can do it yourself or consult a professional. You can contact me for this service. Look for other posts on this site, you will see documents required.

I am planning to start my own business. I will be importing items from china and want to sell the items here. For online selling, flipkart is one option, but flipkart needs TIN no for registration. I am not sure about my to be yearly turnover, but it wont cross Rs. 5 lack per anum. Please let me know what are the things that I should do to start.

I have filied my Vat Application first time on 22/05/2015 through Online, and I have paid Rs.500 also as registration fees through online. But till date no one has come for Inspection and no information also from the LVO.

Whether they will take much time to come and Inspect the Premises or we have to take the Appointment from the LVO Inspector.

Cost depends on fees of consultant in Hubli. If you want to do it yourself, then cost will be around Security Deposit - 3500 (approximatly, depends on commodity). PT- 1,000 (Proprietorship), Application Fee - 500. OP depends on your personal bargaining.

im owner of a boutique in banglore and i dont have tin and vat no i wnat to apply for it . can you tell waht i havre to do for this ? and my monthly turn over is approx 1 lakh but after giving salary my profit is approx 25k -30k per month is it must to apply for tin and vat no for me ?

Profit is not a creteria for VAT registration. If your tunover exceeds 10 lakhs you need to have VAT regsitration. You can read this post to understand whether you need a VAT registration or not. Registration provisions under Karnataka Vat Act

Hi Pulkit,I need your help in understanding whether i need to register for TIN/ Vat or not. I have a part time business & my annual sales do not exceed Rs 2lakhs per month. Do i need to register or not? Also i wanted to register as an e seller on one of the prominent e commerce websites but as per the T&C mentioned in their FAQ's, it seems only books n unstitched dress materials can be sold without registration. For selling anything else other than these we need to provide TIN. What is your take on this??

Thanks a lot Pulkit for sharing the information.Can you share the procedure for VAT registeration. Also please share what are the requirements after registeration like annual returns etc.I would also like to know if my residentail address can be given as address of commercial establishment since i am operating out of my residence.

- I already have a registered VAT number, because I am selling readymade garments online. I have used my personal PAN number for the same.

- Now I want to sell books online(which are VAT exempted). I want to give a different name to this company. Do I need to apply for a fresh VAT or TIN against the same PAN number; or I can go for adding a catagory for the same VAT number.

You do not need a seperate vat registration for different items. Please start a new thread and we should discuss it there. This thread is already full of replies and information mails may disturb other users.

-What is the security deposit for granite export. And what is purpose for deposit? - See more at: http://www.tikshare.com/forum/showPost/216/Complete-Procedure-to-get-VAT-TIN-registration-in-Karnataka#replySection

It is difficult to put a price on what the costs will be as it varies from consultant to consultant as well as their rappot with the commercial tax office. ( approx 40 to 45K)

Registration of a firm is allowed only from a commercial property ( residential flats will not be allowed )

The bank of choice will vary with turn over and country of dealing. I suggest you go with a nationalized bank rather than the private banks.

I am planning to sell T-shirts online through Flipkart. But they are asking VAT number. My plan is to sell online only and it may be lss that 1 lakh or 50000 turn over in a year. Do I need to take VAT? without this I cannot register I think.

We would like to start online selling of goods basically artificial jewellery and other minor stuff through portals like flipkart amazon. These portals are asking us for TIN number. Do we need TIN and service tax to sell goods thru online?

We dont know how much our turnover will be as we couldn't predict. How can i contact you and how much it will cost me approx to get these registrations? Thanks.

Hi Pulkit. My father has just opened an automobile shop in Hubbali, Karnataka. He sells tyres, spare parts and automobile oil in his shop. He was advised to get a TIN number if he wants to buy oil and parts. Is that true? Does he need a TIN number in order to operate business? I'm very sure that the sales will not exceed 5 lakh, at least not this year. What do you advise?

Can I use address of rented apartment for vat registration in karnataka?

If that's not possible can I use address of rented apartment as additional place of business? If one vat registration is in Gujarat, do I need another vat registration for additional place of business in karnataka?

This is a very nice article detailing VAT. I have queries regarding multiple branches, please suggest.

If VAT registration is done for an establishment as a proprietor and planning to start another one, what is the procedure to be followed? Can we start the new establishment as a branch under same VAT registration or should it be a new registration by the same proprietor? Somewhere I have read that one person cannot have multriple registrations. What will be advantages & disadvantages of each model?

If same VAT will continue what will be terms like naming the establishment, filing returns, proximity? Can one of them be full VAT & another in composite scheme based on procurement model they will operate? How to apply?
